Chippewa Hills Middle School

Are you coming to Friday’s Warriors vs Cancer football game? We’re inviting all cancer warriors (those who have defeated cancer and those that are fighting) in our community to ring the victory bell during a special halftime celebration! We will also be making luminaries to honor all our loved ones affected by cancer. Our students will make the luminaries, which will be displayed along the track throughout the evening. If you would like to ring the victory bell or have a luminary dedicated to a loved one, please fill out this form by Thursday, October 10: https://forms.gle/ohX7qSLYBkchK4KX9 Friday night is also Senior Night and we will be honoring our senior fall sports athletes before the game. We look forward to seeing you there, Warrior Nation!
